"Don Slepian is an internationally known electronic musician, recording artist, and concert performer. Described by Rolling Stone magazine as "one of the genre's major talents", Slepian's live electronic concerts have been sponsored by radio stations, scientific groups, computer societies and universities, and his recordings broadcast on National Public Radio via the syndicated program "Music From The Hearts of Space". A consultant on computer music for Yamaha International, Bell Telephone Laboratories, and Bell Communications Research, Slepian's technical articles have been published by the National Radio Institute and industry bible/magazine Electronic Musician. Appearing to effortlessly merge synthesizer technology with elegant classical stylings now for nearly four decades, Slepian's body of work has been described by The Newark Star Ledger as "...a dazzling smorgasbord of computer sonorities, all of them fascinating, some of them achingly beautiful...undisputably a master of his medium."

High and mighty- The ARP 2500 w/Don Slepian @ RetroLinear

RetroLinear

"Resurrected from the dead, the mighty ARP2500. A rather lengthy restoration project requiring nearly countless hours of reworking, development of new circuits, reverse engineering failed potted modules to restore operation and improve performance.

Don Slepian paid us a visit and kindly recorded around 20 minutes of musical snippets on the ARP2500 which has been arranged as a single track for your enjoyment!

Many thanks to Don for his musical expertise in steering the ARP2500 and Edwin Kiddo for his 2500!"

video upload by EMEAPP

"Tiny bit mighty, we feel that Casio synths often get overlooked. Not at EMEAPP, we have a soft spot for synths such as these. Here we have the Casio CZ-101, the first in a line of classic, affordable instruments for the working musician. The phase distortion engine of this 80s icon is capable of some fantastic tones and we have electronic music pioneer Don Slepian to demonstrate. As an added bonus, Don includes a demo of his personal Casio CZ-1000!"

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: ARP PRO-SOLOIST Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"A special instrument, a very very special instrument. The legendary ARP Pro-Soloist is definitely in a class all of its own as far as performance synthesizers go. The preset sounds are iconic across many different genres from prog rock to funk and the expressiveness of the keyboard interface is second to none. We alway keep one of these gems wired into our keyboard rig here at EMEAPP because of it's performance flexibility, unique sonic character and because its just plain fun to play! Join Don Slepian as he demonstrates different presets on this instrument as well as the supreme expressiveness of the keyboard's aftertouch action."

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: KAWAI SYNTHESIZER-100F Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"Her's another fun little box 'o knobs and sliders from the synth-laden halls of EMEAPP. While Kawai is known more for their acoustic pianos, this instrument is one of their first forays into the electronic music instrument realm. We are looking at the Kawai Synthesizer-100F from 1977. This single VCO instrument is very well equipped, packs a punch and is capable of great sounds for live performance. Join electronic music pioneer Don Slepian as he demonstrates this lesser known but awesome instrument.

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: UNIVOX MINI-KORG K-2 FEAT. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"Why are people so crazy about the Mini-KORG? It's more than just a boring organ-topper, the Univox Mini-KORG K-2 is a little powerhouse of a synth. Here again is electronic music pioneer Don Slepian taking this little vintage beauty on a little tour of it's very flexible and fluid functionality and the great tones that this little beast can pump out.

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: OCTAVE CAT/KITTEN PLUS CAT STICK Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"We are huge fans of Octave's 'feline' series of synthesizers here at EMEAPP. In fact, we have three Cats and a Kitten in our collection. But seriously, the Octave Cat, Kitten and the rare Cat Stick controller are definitely favorites around here for their flexibility and sonic punch. Hosted by electronic music pioneer DON SLEPIAN, he will take you on a guided tour of these two sibling synths as well as an overview of one of the most flexible control modules ever made."

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: EML 400/401 Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"Here is electronic music pioneer DON SLEPIAN taking us on a test drive of the EML 400/401. With fewer than 300 units produced, this is a unique opportunity to dive into a very rare bird!"

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: STEINER-PARKER SYNTHACON Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"That filter! Need we say more. The fabled Steiner-Parker Synthacon is a three oscillator beast of a portable mono-synth capable of immensely fat tones, is highly regarded for its tuning stability and is chock full of awesome control and modulation options. However, the star of the show is the Synthacon's peerless multi-mode LP/BP/HP which has cultivated an identity of its own and has achieved legendary status. Its a fantastic bit of electronic engineering and it truly behaves in a unique manner as compared to its contemporaries. Join Don Slepian as he takes a dive into the Sytnthacon and puts the filter through its paces."

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: SYNTON SYRINX Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"Here for your listening and viewing pleasure is yet another rarity from our extensive collection of obscure and unusual mono synths. This is the Syrinx from the Dutch manufacturer Synton, circa 1983. This particular unit features the rarest color combination of the whole production and we were proud to have it featured in the Synth Gems 1 book from Bjooks. In this episode of Sonic Test Drive, join electronic music pioneer Don Slepian as he takes you through the ins and outs of this beast, including it's highly sought after filter and unique paddle controls.

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: KORG SYNTHE-BASS SB-100 Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"This little gem has to be one of our favorite purpose-built performance synths here at EMEAPP. It is the KORG Synthe-Bass SB-100, first released in 1975. Ideal for live performance, the SB-100 is a single oscillator bass synthesizer monster which offers an extremely powerful low pass filter "traveler" as well as a plethora of wave forms and modifiers to choose from to create monstrously fat and punchy bass tones. In this video, electronic music pioneer Don Slepian will demonstrate the SB-100 and the range that this compact little box can cover."

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: RHODES CHROMA POLARIS Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"Here's a little Rhodes Chroma Polaris for ya from the EMEAPP synth collection. Join electronic musician and ace synthesist Don Slepian as he takes this vintage six voice beast from the mid-80s for a true sonic test drive as he demonstrates the wide sonic palette that this beast is capable of."

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: ROLAND SH-09 Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"Who doesn't love some fat 'n funky synth bass? We sure do! In this episode of Sonic Test Drive, join electronic music pioneer Don Slepian as he guides you through some tips and tricks for programming great sounding synth bass using analog gear. The featured instrument here is our Roland SH-09 mono-synth from the early 80s and it definitely packs a mean punch. We are massive fans of old Roland gear here and .

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: ELGAM CAROUSEL Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"A synth and a groove machine! How cool is this little vintage Italian beast! It even has "crazy hands" and ragtime"! The Elgam Carousel is just one of those unique instuments that beautifully straddles the line between awesome and cheesy, but we love cheese around here too! In this episode of Sonic Test Drive, join electronic music pioneer Don Slepian as he takes you through the ins and outs of this rare oddity from the mid 70s."

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: RSF BLACKBOX Feat. DON SLEPIAN

video upload by EMEAPP

"Another rarity from the halls of EMEAPP, here we have the ultra-rare RSF Blackbox from the late 70s. While it doesn't look like much on the outside, it is capable of a pretty amazing task: it can turn a monosynth into a polysynth by using it's CV/gate output. Intended as a peripheral device for the RSF Kobol monosynth, the Blackbox is compatible with a plethora of other vintage monosynths. In this video, electronic music pioneer Don Slepian will demonstrate the Blackbox's capabilities as a stand-alone instrument.
